    I believe that but I do have to wonder how much of that is due to no credible leads being offered on most cases vs them just cheating their own narcs. “Money paid” vs “Money offered” doesn’t give any clarity to that.

      Especially when you consider that big rewards are not offered when detectives can figure things out pretty easily. The ante goes up with severity and difficulty. I’m sure there was a reward for Osama bin Laden, but I wasn’t not turning him in because the reward was too small or I didn’t believe I’d get paid. I just didn’t know where the dude was, let alone how I could get him turned in
